the most important thing I've learned while in #university #it #programming is that #guake exists. life hasn't been the same ever since.

Been sleeping on Guake terminal. Feels like it's going to be a permanent fixture. Similar to scratchpads in tiling window managers - keyboard shortcut, boom, pull down console on any workspace. Very handy for quick capture note taking etc. Nice.

@aral probably not kingdom material but have you used #Guake? I love it, probably because I don't use a terminal much any more but it's handy. It _looks_ like there's Wayland support, has split screens, some GTK native support. Plus it has the coolest name for a terminal ever.
Anybody here use #Guake terminal? When I switch keyboard layout with Super+Space (Ubuntu 22.04) it focuses Guake so I start typing in it inadvertently and it's driving me 🥜🥜
@rs1linuxtools #guake for the win
I love that you just have to press F12 to invoke the terminal. So easy to switch back and forth.
@emacsomancer The funny thing in my case is that I've never played Quake, and never experienced this kind of drop-down debug/cheat console. Still, about a decade ago I tried #Guake, and got hooked. Just recently I switched over to Tilda (Guake is misbehaving on Plasma 5).
In #Emacs, I have shell-pop.el configured to "drop down" an Eshell window in the top quarter of my frame. It works great, but nowhere near as slick as your #Equake, which I have to try.

Ohh sorry I am not using #Guake anymore. But I remember there was a an easy accessible menu via right-click -> Settings
And then I believe something like Theme/Colors is available from there.
@tut
Well I didn't changed much. Was more playing around with it.
In the file I have given the colors real names but also tried with hash values before.

I am still not really good in all that terminal stuff ;)
If it matters, I am using the default Mate terminal emulator via LinuxMint
But I have also used #Guake, result was the same.
@redstarfish
I was always a fan of solarized color scheme...Terminal, DE, background etc....
Then I found the "Seashells" theme in my #Guake settings and fell in love 😆
Ok I never considered a drop-down terminal before. Then I saw it on #XFCE I think. Now installed #Guake on #Mate for #LinuxMint. And what else to say, as that I love it 😻
